Dallas, 12 February 2012 Turbomeca (Safran group) and Bristow Academy are excited to announce the first training course to be delivered under the training partnership formed last fall will be offered during the week March 5 to 9, 2012. The course will be delivered at the Bristow Academy Titusville, Florida, Campus located at Space Coast Regional Airport (KTIX). As the first course offering from Turbomeca and Bristow Academy, both organizations are pleased to provide this quality focused training to pilots, maintainers, and the organizations that they support. This course is intended for maintainers and will be the Arriel 2S1/2S2 Level 1 maintenance course. The course is designed for familiarization on the Turbomeca Arriel engine.
Course content will include classroom academics and hands on laboratory training on the engine type and components. On completion, attendees will have a much improved knowledge and understanding of the Turbomeca Arriel engine that should lead to improved serviceability, reduced costs, and enhanced safety as outcomes. These courses are also designed specifically to improve pilot knowledge and understanding of this engine type. A full array of additional course dates and offerings are in development and will soon follow these initial courses.
